Boris has more waffle than Bird's Eye...

Why can't he just answer a question straight?
And also if you have children did he just suggest you tell your employer and stay home? That is not going to go down well!

Waffle waffle....can’t answer a question with an answer.

The80sweregreat · 11/05/2020 19:24

He likes a waffle.

JamieLeeCurtains · 11/05/2020 19:25

This is horrendously bad.

Patterjack · 11/05/2020 19:25

He didn't answer the question about whether more children will now be able to go to school if their parents go back to work, he dodged the point of the mans question completely.

TJH130 · 11/05/2020 19:26

His question from Pooja, Chris Whitty answered it correctly, pretty much that the advise on what must be shut hasn’t changed, however Boris waffled for 5 mins going nowhere near the answer.

JamieLeeCurtains · 11/05/2020 19:26

Ring your employer ....

Don't crowd on public transport ...

Is he sane? Does he live in a parallel universe?

twilightermummy · 11/05/2020 19:27

He is so unbearably incompetent. Raab was much clearer. This is unfathomable.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 11/05/2020 19:27

He's actually painful to watch.

Not a Tory - but I've been much more impressed by Dominic Raab's performances as he always seems to answer the questions rather than prevaricate.

Hearhoovesthinkzebras · 11/05/2020 19:27

It's like nailing jelly to the wall.

Now he's waffling on about people being 2 metres apart on public transport - the tube was packed this morning. It clearly can't accommodate social distancing so what does that mean for people who have to use it?

Iwannatellyouastory · 11/05/2020 19:27

What a fecking embarrassment, this is our PM what a buffoon.
God only knows what other countries think when they see him spouting absolute waffle.

MarshaBradyo · 11/05/2020 19:28

It can be hard work to decipher.

The80sweregreat · 11/05/2020 19:29

He lapsed into French!

JamieLeeCurtains · 11/05/2020 19:30

Did Vallance and Witty sign off the change from 'Stay Home' to 'Stay Alert'?

Johnson strongly implied Yes in Parliament earlier (responding to Sir Ed Davey); Vallance just strongly implied No.

StealthPolarBear · 11/05/2020 19:30

Oooh laa laa

TJH130 · 11/05/2020 19:30

Trump is an awful president and his speeches are full of crap, but at least they are clear. Boris though is just something else, he just can not communicate his point.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 11/05/2020 19:30

"I hope hope hope we will achieve a virus"

Grin
MarshaBradyo · 11/05/2020 19:31

I feel a bit embarrassed when he stumbles, it’s like a pitch meeting going wrong. Come on BJ.

RaskolnikovsGarret · 11/05/2020 19:32

How can he be our leader? Shockingly bad.

meow1989 · 11/05/2020 19:32

We will reopen the pubs at the earliest 4th july. At the latest we will open the pubs on 4th july. You can meet people one on one. You can meet other people outside. You can meet one other person. Stay at home if possible. You can exercise as much as you want. Go to work if you can't work from home this week. If you can't work from home but haven't got childcare schools wont reopen until at least 1st June but go to work if you can't work from home. You can now exercise as much as you want. From Wednesday you can go outside as much as you want...

I dont know what you lot are finding so hard to follow myself.

FirTree31 · 11/05/2020 19:32

'Achieve a virus'. I almost feel bad for him, he looks truly defeated. I can barely understand what he's saying.

practicallyperfectwithprosecco · 11/05/2020 19:32

The difference watching Keir Starmer speak - doesn't take a genius to work out who people are going to have more faith in!

Violetparis · 11/05/2020 19:32

He's so out of his depth, it's almost painful to watch.

MarshaBradyo · 11/05/2020 19:33

Trump can be hilarious too

“people are dying who have never died before’

Becca19962014 · 11/05/2020 19:33

I want waffles now

TJH130 · 11/05/2020 19:34

Even Sir Patrick and Chris Whitty seem frustrated with him the way they are jumping in with clear answers to get him to stop
